I thought so too initially, especially towards the seat controls being capacitive. But honestly after a few days it felt fine. That said, I still would prefer the latest steering wheel with the “rocker” and “roller” physical controls added back

Oh absolutely, Mercedes does a good job giving their interiors a bit of opulence. Definitely what sold me on my old W205 C300 as well

I used to do the oil extraction on my 2015 C300 for years and it was just fine. But the newer MBs don’t have dipsticks anymore and I think the oil extractor method won’t work. Not that draining it from the bottom is that difficult but it’s at least less convenient.

So many haters. This is cool and the average non-car-enthusiast also thinks it's cool.

The tiramisu cheesecake. Got one and it was sooooo good. Regret not getting another

I had the same thing in my C300. It's the panoramic sunroof not sitting flush. You'll see if when you look at it from the outside, look at the front seal specifically. It's an easy fix, there's a couple of adjustment screws on each side.

You're right, it is allergies. Thanks!

handpulled_noodles

You are absolutely right, thanks!

Thanks for the advice. Thankfully the products I'm hoping to engrave are more lab instruments that rarely get handled. Ended up going with the S1, hopefully it'll be good :)

You can always check the live tracker to see how busy the pools are here:

I'm by the mall and I go to Bryant wood for more peace and quiet

Oh wow that's awesome! I'll message you

handpulled_noodles

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the advice! Do you also have a S1? How's your experience with the positioning system?

Ah okay. Sounds like a diode laser may should be okay. What wattage is appropriate for black anodized and painted metal? Is 20 or 40W enough?

Any idea of the progress in Lakefront North? They announced the ~$300mil plan back in Feb. 2022 and I'm not sure there's been anything new happening.

Gotta thank the previous homeowners for that, no idea what paint was used

The sheets are just from Costco. They have a sale going on right now with very similar looking sheets. I have a bunch of pillows so the pillow cases were from two sheet sets.

I have an odd sized comforter (92"x96")so I had to get this duvet cover to match: Duvet cover

I have no idea. The frame was picked up as a Facebook marketplace find. It's a nice solid wood frame but I don't know much more beyond that

Been living sans nightstands for years. What's making it difficult for me is my dark bed frame. Am I supposed to get nightstands that match the color?

I want some decent nightstands that fit with my bedroom that also doesn't break the bank, so happy to hear out all suggestions!

handpulled_noodles

I've been wondering the same thing

handpulled_noodles

Did you fix the seat? I'm having the same issue

Ha as soon as I saw the first image I knew it was a C300. The positive vent valve and the aux battery are super common problems for the C300.

People can hate on Mercs all they want for reliability and how Lexus's are the "perfect" vehicle. But they just aren't. Sit in a C300 then sit in a IS300 and it's a night and day difference. I wouldn't even consider a Lexus after owning a Merc. And frankly, it's not nearly as unreliable as some say.

The aux battery is an easy fix, it's actually not even a battery but a little super capacitor module. It is a little part behind your glove box. Pretty easy part to replace yourself, <$100.

That positive vent valve on the other hand... that's a real tough one and will be very expensive to repair. They have to lift the engine to get access to replace the assembly and frankly $1258 for parts and labor is a reasonable amount for that job. It's not actually a valve like other people were saying. It's a complete hose assembly that wraps around the engine.

The cabin air filter is a total scam. It's not that expensive and super easy to replace yourself. The C300 has two air filters, one behind the glove box and one under the hood, behind the left windshield wiper. YouTube it and do it yourself, <$50 for both.

Engine air filter is just as easy. YouTube it. It's a 5 minute job.

I recently asked them and they said they're hoping for late summer (2023). Pretty slow moving since it was announced back in early 2022 (January?) 🤷🏻‍♂️

No much negativity. Just let her be. Sweet bike and sweet views 🤙🏼

So much negativity in the comments. It's okay to be attractive. I think you look like a nice sweet girl. Maybe you do get things handed to you but you're aware of your privllages.
